Tucked within a neighborhood retail center in Greer, Voila French Cafe is a delicious surprise for those looking for authentic French soul food that's also modestly priced.

Owner Fabrice DiNonno's casual cafe concept pops big flavors on a small menu, highlighting scratch-made soups and sandwiches, fresh salads, quiches and pastries.

Originally from Marseilles, France, DiNonno moved to Brooklyn in his early 20s and quickly worked his way up in the restaurant business. He was general manager at the famed brasserie Les Halles in Manhattan and later launched his own New York restaurant, Cassis. He brought the popular French concept, Lulu, to Charlotte. He relocated to Greenville and opened Voila about a year ago.

“During a visit, I found Greenville so charming, very progressive, and the right place to open this idea,” says DiNonno. Here, it is a one-person show as DiNonno does it all -- cooking, prepping, and serving -- but that adds to an experience that’s personal and nothing less than magic.

“I grew up with a big family of cooks and was influenced by my father and grandmother, who both owned restaurants,” DiNonno says. “So, it’s all made from scratch and created with passion.”

The vibe is laid-back, and the no-frills space offers counter service and cafe seating inside and out. The all-day menu pays homage to a few French comfort foods. Popular items include steaming bowls of homemade roasted chicken and lentil soups, omelets and quiches, niçoise salad, and quintessential French staples like the flavorful Croque Monsieur, a toasted ham and gruyere cheese sandwich with a classic béchamel sauce. There’s also a lineup of hearty sides such as ratatouille, piperade stew, roasted potatoes and sauteed string beans.

“I am so happy to cook for others,” says DiNonno. “I enjoy the connection with the customer from beginning to end. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing people enjoy good food.”

Each morning, DiNonno fills the pastry case with macaroons, scones, muffins, and chocolate croissants, which all go fast.

“This is just a little café - a place for lunch or a coffee and croissant,” says DiNonno. “I hope people come to enjoy some French soul food.”

DiNonno has expansion plans in the coming year and says he hopes to open additional locations as well as introduce a new Italian dining concept down the road.

Voila French Café is open for breakfast and lunch, Monday through Saturday. For more info, visit www.voilafrenchcafe.com

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – An entertainment venue named Trueline is coming to downtown Greenville.

An old building along Rhett Street in Greenville’s West End will soon be a hub for music lovers.

Top performers from around the country are expected to come to Greenville to put on a show.

Trueline’s founder and CEO Michael Grozier said this $13 million project continues the transformation of the West End area into an entertainment district.

Other business owners in the area said being a part of the growth of Greenville’s West End has been incredible.

“I think the city has taken its time,” said Vincent Paschetta, director of operations for Urban Wren and Bellwether. “It has been thoughtful on who they want to partner with and I think that has shown and it is still keeping the grass routes of the community so it still feels like a local community.”

Grozier said Trueline will add to the area’s successful growth. It will be a two-story, 1,700-capacity music hall spanning 34,000 square feet at the corner of Rhett Street and Wardlaw Street.

“Greenville is an extraordinary town,” said Grozier, who also co-founded House of Blues. “It is a beautiful place. I don’t have to tell you, you know. But the idea that we’re going to try to get bands to stop here that haven’t stopped up to this point and try to bring even more music to town, we are going to need something that the industry is going to respond to.”

Trueline is expected to host a variety of performers from all music genres, comedians and others.

People who 7NEWS spoke to in downtown Greenville said they would check out the venue.

“I would say yes, it’s a good idea especially if they feature a variety of performers,” said Dan Dewitt, an Easley resident

Nearby businesses said they believe the entertainment venue will positively impact the area and their business.

“We think it is a great idea,” Paschetta said. “We support it from both concepts. We welcome the business it is going to bring, the foot traffic. We think it is going to be a great addition to the West End, hopefully continue to build the community down here.”

Grozier said he plans to employ 500 people in the area. He said not only will it be a place for fun, food, and entertainment, but it will be a driving force in Greenville’s economy.

“For every dollar the people spend inside the building – whether it is tickets, food and beverage, tickets, or merchandise – they are spending that same dollar outside,” Grozier said. “We expect that we will be a $12 million business starting and we expect that means it will be $12 million in the immediate vicinity around us as well.”

At this time, the entertainment venue is expected to open in 2025.

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Some changes are on the way to an important document that will shape future growth in the city of Greenville.

It has been six months since city council voted to approve its new development code. City staff have emphasized throughout the process that, the code would be a living and breathing document that could change. After it was approved it was promised to be reevaluated every six months for a year and then every year after that.

"Every six months to be like hey if something isn't working, let's maybe think about it in a different way to keep that same amazing atmosphere and community Greenville has," Realtor, Joanne Bethea said.

Six months in, and some said it was an adjustment.

"One of the biggest being the opportunity to have what's called an "Accessory dueling unit"(ADU), also called a mother-in-law suite.

"ADUs were probably the biggest adjustment and for part of that too, they were maybe happening outside of this, but this is a great option for people to do it within the bounds of the law," realtor Erica Simonavice said.

The community had a chance to stop by to learn more about proposed changes to the city's new development code on Thursday.

City staff said they're looking to clarify some language, adjusting its build-to-width and its use table. They are also incorporating its new engineering specifications manual.

"What caught my attention recently was reading the text amendments on the definition of a household. What a unit size can particularly be and also having concern about the intersection between the definition of a household or unit and parking requirements," Kathleen Deveix said.

"Stormwater detention. They are continuing to work on that on the individuals so that we don't have the stormwater, runoff, pollution and those things," Steve Howes said.

A never-ending conversation for an ever-changing community.

"This is a balanced approach to growth. Greenville will continue to grow. It's a very desirable place to live and we want that quality of life to continue. In order to do that, we have a new zoning code that will help implement those goals," interim planning director Mary Douglas-Hirsh said.

The changes are expected to be presented and voted on by the planning commission on Jan. 9. If it passes, it will still have to be voted on by council. To see propose changes, click here.

To do:

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Peace Center Concert Hall

Jan. 16, 7:30 p.m.

Tickets: $15-50, https://www.peacecenter.org/events/detail/24-les-ballets-trockadero

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is an internationally beloved company known as “The Trocks” that has made its name parodying classical ballet favorites, like Swan Lake. See? If you’ve ever been tempted to mock or roll your eyes at classical ballet, you’re practically invited to do so at this show. However—hold on that notion for a moment. It’s not quite what you think.

The Trocks are a troupe of all male dancers who will perform both the female and male dancers’ roles in classic ballets. The costuming is on point(e), adding to the hilarity, but the physical demands of the dances remain at impressive levels. That part is no joke.

Their combination of skillful pointe work and physical comedy makes their performances appeal to mainstream audiences, and especially those for whom ballet might not be appealing or even those who think they know the originals. In other words, with 50 years of history, this company has figured out how to entertain just about anyone, and couldn’t we all use a little education and a good laugh to start the new year? That’s rhetorical.

To eat:

CAMP

2 E. Broad St.

Reservations recommended for the Chef’s Counter

At CAMP, the best seats in the house are at the Chef’s Counter—the front-row view of everything happening in the kitchen. This is where we start our evening. If you can, get that 6 p.m. (or earlier if you can swing it) counter reservation that will give you just enough time to indulge and imbibe before you walk across Main Street to the Peace Center.

Each dish on CAMP’s menu is a classic reimagined, much like what our dance troupe excels at. It’s also entirely possible to get so distracted with the variety of dishes that you miss your show. Let’s try not to do that. To ensure you stay on schedule, peruse the menu before and let your server know you need to close out by 7:15 p.m.

Or, see below for what I would order for two right off the bat to avoid decision delays. I’d also go easy on cocktails since it’s rather easy to doze off in those cushioned concert hall seats.

To start, order two glasses of bubbles (take your pick on price point) and then get right to the food:

Pickled Vegetables (Farmer Nathan’s Selection from Growing Green Farms); Avocado Napoleon (garlic tuile, Hass Avocado, pickled jicama, habanero-pineapple foam, crushed almonds); Tuna Tostada (housemade masa, cilantro, serrano, maple ponzu); Gambas (fennel, citrus, espelette butter); Octopus (hominy, DarkSpore Mushroom, chipotle crema, crispy kale); and Dawn’s Curry (brisket, basmati rice, peanuts).

All of those are absolute knockouts I’ve ordered and enjoyed repeatedly, and you’ll get to watch them come together right in front of you. The only mandatory of this menu recommendation is that you must save room for dessert, which may steal the show completely. Pastry chef Lindsay Beck has a way with sugar, and it’s in your best interest to go along with whatever tempting treats are on the menu.

After all that, you might be tempted to skip the ballet, but don’t. The good laugh that’s coming is the attitude adjustment we’ll all need.

This year, on Jan. 4, 2024, the Clemson University MBA program celebrates ten years at the Greenville ONE campus. The last decade has held significant growth for the MBA program and downtown Greenville as a whole. Looking to the next ten years, the program reflects on the successes of the past decade.

2010: The Move to Downtown Greenville

In 2010, Clemson University relocated the MBA program 30 miles east of the main campus to downtown Greenville. The program moved into the Clemson at the Falls location, across from the Liberty Bridge at Falls Park on the Reedy. While the location offered proximity to the park’s nature trails and city amenities, the University had a bigger picture for growth alongside the vibrant community.

“Housing a professional graduate program in downtown Greenville is a no-brainer,” said Gregory Pickett, Associate Dean of the Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business and Director of the MBA Program. “This positioning gives our students access to a growing base of world-class companies, including Michelin, GE, 3M and BMW. The location allows learning to expand past the classroom walls and out into the community through networking events, mentoring programs and job recruitment.”

Clemson University’s forward-thinking paid off, as Greenville has grown more than 16% in the last decade, earning it a spot among the top 25 fastest-growing cities and the fourth-best small city in the U.S., and the Clemson MBA program has grown just as quickly.

2014: The Move to Greenville ONE

Clemson MBA enrollment was rapidly expanding, and the program had outgrown its location at the Falls. On Jan. 4, 2014, the MBA program officially moved into the Greenville ONE Center. The state-of-the-art facility was made possible through an in-kind donation from Greenville real estate developer Bob Hughes and others. The building boasts over 70,000 square feet across four floors, allowing the program to grow and expand educational programming and delivery options. The student body has more than doubled since the initial move downtown in 2010, from 240 to more than 600 students today, further enhancing Clemson’s connection to upstate business growth.

Creating a Space for Community

In many ways, the design of Greenville ONE has allowed the program to accomplish its goals and continue to expand. “The Greenville ONE design facilitates conversations and learning,” Pickett said. “It not only houses programming but also provides space to engage with the community, local businesses and fellow students.”

Greenville ONE houses several in-person and virtual MBA classrooms, 15 private meeting spaces students can use anytime, a 180-seat auditorium, event spaces with state-of-the-art audio and video technologies, warming kitchens for catered events, as well as several indoor and outdoor lounge areas for students to connect and recharge.

Since moving to downtown Greenville, Clemson MBA student job placement rates have improved, with the help of being ranked number one in career services by the Princeton Review. The continued growth of business relationships is also partly due to the program’s strategic location and inviting space.

“We’re able to use this space to engage with students and the community in several ways,” Pickett said. “For example, Greenville ONE can effortlessly host the scores of companies that come for student recruitment events every semester while also providing a second home for grad students to study and connect. Students want to come together in this space to network, brainstorm ideas and ultimately launch the next phase of their careers together.”

Designing a Space for Growth

In addition to forging better connections between students, businesses and community leaders, Greenville ONE has provided room for the MBA program to grow its program offerings and expand curriculum delivery. “Through the innovative approach of our team and the facilities of Greenville ONE, we’ve been able to transform the way MBA education is delivered today,” Pickett said.

Since moving downtown, the Clemson MBA has added program options to its original full-time and part-time MBA Corporate tracks, including concentrations in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Business Analytics and Digital Brand Communications and online and hybrid programs.

“Our MBA concentrations allow students to dive deeper into their career interests, while online and hybrid formats have changed how we deliver that curriculum to students,” Pickett said. “The design and location of Greenville ONE have allowed for that growth and reimagined approach to learning.”

Greenville ONE’s unique design and strategic location accommodate education beyond traditional classroom time. Online MBA students benefit from an enhanced virtual experience thanks to high-tech video and audio equipment and a curriculum designed for the modern age. The convenient downtown site makes it easy for part-time students to attend class in the evenings. At the same time, the vibrant and growing community is equally appealing for full-time students looking to relocate.

“As a part-time student, Greenville ONE is the perfect location for this MBA Program as it is within walking distance of great coffee shops and restaurants downtown,” said Madison Kaiser, MBA Student Association President. “The building itself is a fantastic area to study and attend class, but also is a great place for all the other MBA career events such as employer spotlights and networking nights.”

However, one of the most unique offerings is the Clemson MBA’s hybrid residency weekends. “We host six residency weekends per year for our hybrid students that are looking for the convenience of an online program while also getting the benefit of in-person networking and collaboration,” Pickett said.

With multiple classrooms, breakout spaces, event halls and a state-of-the-art auditorium, Greenville ONE has an ideal design for a weekend of in-person learning and networking.

“Not many traditional MBA programs leverage residency weekends like ours,” Pickett said. “With proximity to hotels, top restaurants, outdoor activities and arts events, hybrid students have the full Greenville package central to the Clemson MBA experience. Even if studying remotely, they can connect to the community, and Greenville ONE makes that possible.”

The Next 10 Years

Since moving into the Greenville ONE location, the Clemson MBA has been able to expand program offerings and delivery.

“Greenville ONE has not only served as an educational hub but also as a dynamic center for collaboration and innovation,” said Dean Wendy York. “As we celebrate a decade of achievements, we anticipate even greater accomplishments in the next ten years, solidifying our position as a leader in MBA education. I take immense pride in the tremendous achievements the program has attained under the leadership of Greg Pickett. I am looking forward to the next ten amazing years to come.”

The stage for another decade of success is set, as the program has earned numerous awards, including:

? #4 Graduate Entrepreneurship Program in the South by The Princeton Review, 2023? #1 Online MBA in South Carolina by Online MBA Report, 2023? #17 Hybrid/Online MBA Business Analytics Program by The Princeton Review, 2022? Top 10 World’s Best MBA Programs for Entrepreneurship by Poets&Quants, 2024? Top 50 In-Person MBA Nationally by The Princeton Review, 2023

Additionally, it’s earned a reputation as one of the top 25 online MBA programs in the U.S., the top 5 in the South and the number one in South Carolina, with more than 94% of graduates landing employment just three months after graduation.

“Greenville ONE has provided our team with the ability to grow the MBA program exponentially,” Pickett said. “In the next ten years, I continue to see us forging relationships with Fortune 500 companies and local business leaders as our program and students continue to build a powerful reputation and demand in the workforce.”

With access to rapidly growing South Carolina businesses and a vibrant, cultural downtown sector, Greenville ONE provides Clemson’s MBA Program a home for evolving in-demand curriculum, evolving delivery and world-class networking opportunities — creating an unparalleled student experience driving the momentum to continued growth alongside Greenville.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Greenville County leaders held the first council meeting of 2024 Tuesday night, kicking things off with a new policy that could tackle a big issue in the county--rural development.

Members voting 11 to 1, approved a new policy for septic tank use. It all has to do with subdivisions.

“The days of 200 and 300 house subdivisions on septic tanks-- this basically will eliminate that,” said Councilman Ennis Fant, District 25.

Developers are building on land without sewer lines and adding septic tanks for each house, but leaders worry about the long-term effects.

“DHEC will give you a permit to put the septic tank in originally but then there’s no oversight afterwards, there’s no inspection so when they fail they just fail,” Fant said.

The new policy adds limits. Developers can only put a tank on one-and-a-half acre lots, 100 feet from waterways. Many, including conservation groups like Friends of the Reedy River have praised the policy. But others are hesitant.

“Hopefully I’m wrong but I feel like there’s some unintended consequences with that,” said Councilman Christ Harrison, District 21.

Harrison was the lone “no” vote. He advocated for a restriction of one acre lots because he’s worried the acre and a half restriction will limit the number of lots a developer can build—potentially increasing the price of homes.

“Hopefully not, but I don’t want to create these larger septic lots to combat that, I don’t want home prices to increase, I don’t want to take a step back,” he said.

Those in favor say it’s all about slowing development, buying time to expand sewer lines out to rural areas and protecting waterways.

“We need 4,400 houses a year in Greenville County and obviously we’re not able to keep up with that which is leading to skyrocketing home prices and skyrocketing rental prices. So if we’re going to reduce the amount of septic tank houses, we’re going to have to do higher density single family residences and that means that ReWa and Metro[Connects] are going to have to step up,” said Fant.

Any projects currently under development or in the permitting process will not be affected by the new rules.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. —

Greenville County officials are limiting where septic tanks can be built in its unincorporated areas and making sure there's more buffers around streams and creeks.

Council voted 11-1 on the rule change, Tuesday night.

"Continuing to build 200-to-300 house subdivisions on septic tanks in the rural parts of the county is not an efficient use of the limited land that we have left," council member Ennis Fant said. "We have a responsibility to not just us today but also the next generation, so we can't continue to poison our creeks, rivers and streams."

Starting immediately, homes built with a septic tank must have a minimum 1.5 lot size and increased buffers, which can go up to 100 feet, from the nearest stream bank.

Fant added the change is meant to improve water quality and help slow down growth.

“We’re seeing nitrate levels rise to enormous levels in the lower parts of the county, so we knew we had to do something," he said. "We’re poisoning the creeks and rivers at an alarming rate, so we had to step up."

Council member Chris Harrison was the only vote against the rule, saying the minimum lot size is too large.

"That decreases the number of lots a builder can use," Harrison said. "Therefore, it can decrease your property value because you're not going to pay as much for it. Conversely, if they're larger lots, they're going to be valued more. They're going to cost more and the home price is going to be higher, as well."

Environmental groups such as Upstate Forever supported the change and larger buffers.

"These riparian buffer areas are the vegetative areas next to rivers and streams and considered to be the last line of defense for water quality because they slow down and filter runoff," said Erika Hollis, the organization's Clean Water Director.

Fant said the county needs 4,400 homes per year to keep up with housing demand.

He said the county now has to work with sewage service providers to get more homes off septic and onto sewer lines.

"If we're going to reduce the number of septic tank houses, we're going to have to do higher density single-family residences," Fant said. "That means ReWa and MetroConnects are going to have to step up."

The rule change will run for the next two years until a sunset clause kicks in. Council must meet again at the end of the period to vote on whether or not to continue with the change.

Top Picks

GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Two First Alert Weather Days are ahead, one for Saturday and another for next Tuesday.

A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Henderson, Transylvania counties, portions of Polk and Rutherford counties. It goes into effect 1:00 a.m. Saturday until 1:00 p.m. Significant icing is expected within these areas, with accumulations ranging from 0.10″ to 0.30″ potentially. This could lead to power outages, trees down and nearly impossible travel on the roadways.

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for northern Greenville and northern Pickens counties in the Upstate, as well as southern Jackson county, Buncombe, Yancey, Mitchell, McDowell. It goes into effect 1:00 a.m. Saturday until 1:00 p.m. Mixed precipitation is possible here, with the potential of snow accumulations up to 1″ and ice accumulations of up to 0.20″. Plan on slippery roads within the areas under the advisory.

Rain and a wintry mix are set to move in overnight into Saturday, with conditions varying from cold rain to sleet and freezing rain by daybreak. This is looking like a widespread event, high confidence in that, although there is still some question on the exact form of wintery precipitation to be seen for some areas. Highest potential for wintry weather is in the mountains however, some areas along the South Carolina-North Carolina border could see a brief period of freezing rain.

The best chances of wintry precipitation come in the early hours of Saturday with warm air moving in from the west by mid-late morning, switching over to a chilly rain. Snow is possible in the higher elevations but the lower elevations are looking at more a mix with sleet and freezing rain potentially impacting the valleys and foothills. This means spotty areas with slick roads are a concern during the early morning hours of Saturday. Ice accumulations could range from a coating up to 0.3″ for some. Moisture moves out throughout the afternoon on Saturday.

Temperatures rebound for Sunday, back to the upper 40s to mid 50s with a nice mix of sun and clouds. However some spotty showers may linger along the North Carolina-Tennessee border. Monday’s a nice dry day with highs in the mid 40s to low 50s ahead of our next rain system.

Tuesday is another First Alert Weather Day due to widespread heavy rain, as well as the potential for some strong storms and wintry mix in the mountains. This one looks to bring widespread heavy rain all across the area. There’s another chance for some wintry precipitation in the mountains early on Tuesday impacting the morning commute for some areas.

The heavy rain looks to be the highest threat from this system, as of right now. Multiple inches of rain will be possible.
